_Ha._ No more, you are too charitable, but I know my guilt, and will from henceforth never Change words with that strange maid, whose innocent face Like your _Maria_'s won so late upon me: My passions are corrected, and I can Look on her now, and woman-kind, without Love in a thought; 'tis thus, I came to tell you, If after this acknowledgement, you'll be So kind to shew me in what silent grave You have dispos'd your daughter, I will ask Forgiveness of all her dust, and never leave, Till with a loud confession of my shame, I wake her ghost, and that pronounce my pardon: Will you deny this favour? then farewel, I'll never see you more: ha!

_Enter Nurse_, Maria _in her own apparel, after some_ _shew of wonder, he goes towards her_.

_La._ Be not deluded, Sir, upon my life This is the soul whom you but thought _Maria_ In my daughters habit; what did you mean Nurse? I knew she would but cozen you, is she not like now? One dew unto another is not nearer.

_Nu._ She thinks she is a gentlewoman; And that imagination has so taken her, S[h]e scorns to speak, how handsomly she carries it, As if she were a well bred thing, her body! And I warrant you, what looks!

_La._ Pray be not foolish.

_Ha._ I disturb no body, speak but half a word And I am satisfied, but what needs that? I'll swear 'tis she.

_La._ But do not, I beseech you, For trust me, Sir, you know not what I know.

_Ha._ Peace then, And let me pray, she holds up her hands with me.

_La._ This will betray all.

_Ha._ Love ever honor'd, And ever young, thou Soveraign of all hearts Of all our sorrows, the sweet ease. [_She weeps now._ Does she still cosin me?

_Nur._ You will see anon, 'Twas her desire, expect the issue, Madam.

_Ha._ My soul's so big, I cannot pray; 'tis she, I will go nearer.

_Enter_ Algripe, Lurcher, Boy.

_Nur._ Here's Mr. _Algripe_, and other strangers, Madam.

_Al._ Here good Lady, Upon my knees I ask thy worships pardon; Here's the whole summ I had with thy fair Daughter; Would she were living, I might have her peace too, And yield her up again to her old liberty: I had a wife before, and could not marry; My pennance shall be on that man that honor'd her, To conferr some Land.

_La._ This is incredible.

_Al_ 'Tis truth.

_Lu._ Do you know me, Sir?

_Al._ Ha, the Gentleman I deceiv'd.

_Lur._ My name is _Lurcher_.

_Al._ 'Shat have thy Mortgage.

_Lu._ I ha that already, no matter for the Deed If you release it.

_Al._ I'll do't before thy witness; But where's thy Sister? if she live I am happy, though I conceal our contract, which was Stolen from me with the Evidence of this Land.

_The Boy goes to_ Maria, _and gives her a paper; she wonders,_ _and smiles upon_ Hartlove, _he amaz'd, approaches her:_ _afterward she shews it her mother, and then gives it to_ Hartlove.

_Nur._ Your daughter smiles.

_Lur._ I hope she lives, but where, I cannot tell, Sir.

_Boy._ Even here, and please you, Sir.

_Al._ How?

_Boy._ Nay, 'tis she; To work thy fair way, I preserved you brother, That would have lost me willingly, and serv'd ye Thus like a boy; I served you faithfully, And cast your plots [but] to preserve your credit; Your foul ones I diverted to fair uses; So far as you would hearken to my counsel; That all the world may know how much you owe me.

_Al._ Welcome entirely, welcome my dear _Alathe_, And when I lose thee agen, blessing forsake me: Nay, let me kiss thee in these cloaths.

_Lur._ And I too, And bless the time I had so wise a sister, wer't thou the little thief?

_Boy._ I stole the contract, I must confess, And kept it to my self, it most concern'd me.

_Ha._ Co[n]tracted? this destroys his after marriage.

_Ma._ Dare you give this hand To this young Gentleman? my heart goes with it.

_Al. Maria_ alive! how my heart's exalted, 'tis my duty; Take her _Frank Hartlove_, take her; and all joyes With her; besides some Lands to advance her Joynture:

_La._ What I have is your own, and blessings crown ye.

_Ha._ Give me room, And fresh air to consider, Gentlemen, My hopes are too high.

_Ma._ Be more temperate, Or I'll be Welsh again.

_Al._ A day of wonder.

_Lur._ Lady, your love, I ha kept my word; there was A time, when my much suffering made me hate you, And to that end I did my best to cross you: And fearing you were dead, I stole your Coffin, That you might never more usurp my Office: Many more knacks I did, which at the Weddings Shall be told of as harmless tales. [_Shout within._

_Enter_ Wildbrain.

_Wild._ Hollow your throats apieces, I am at home; If you can roar me out again--

_La._ What thing is this?

_Lur._ A continent of Fleas: room for the Pageant; Make room afore there; your kinsman Madam.

_La._ My kinsman? let me wonder!

_Wild._ Do, and I'll wonder too to see this company At peace one with another; 'tis not worth Your admiration, I was never dead yet; Y' re merry Aunt, I see, and all your company: If ye be not, I'll fool up, and provoke ye: I will do any thing to get your love again: I'll forswear Midnight Taverns and Temptations; Give good example to your Grooms, the Maids Shall go to bed, and take their rest this year; None shall appear with blisters in their bellies.

_Lur._ And when you will fool again, you may go ring.

_Wild._ Madam, have mercy.

_La._ Your submission, Sir, I gladly take; we will Enquire the reason of this habit afterwards; Now you are soundly sham'd, well, we restore you Where's _Toby_? Where's the Coachman?

_Nur._ He's a bed, Madam. And has an ague, he says.

_Lur._ I'll be his Physitian.

_La._ We must afoot then.

_Lur._ E'er the Priest ha done _Toby_ shall wait upon you with his Coach, And make your _Flanders_ Mares dance back agen we'ye, I warrant you Madam you are mortified, Your sute shall be granted too.

_Wild._ Make, make room afore the[re].

_La._ Home forward with glad hearts, home child.

_Ma._ I wait you.

_Ha._ On joyfully, the cure of all our grief, Is owing to this pretty little Thief. [_Exeunt omnes._

APPENDIX.

_In the following references to the text the lines are numbered from the top of the page, including titles, acts, stage directions, &c., but not, of course, the headline or mere 'rules.' Where, as in the lists of Persons Represented,_ _there are double columns, the right-hand column is numbered after the left._

It has not been thought necessary to record the correction of every turned letter nor the substitution of marks of interrogation for marks of exclamation and _vice versâ_. Full-stops have been silently inserted at the ends of speeches and each fresh speaker has been given the dignity of a fresh line: in the double-columned folio the speeches are frequently run on. Misprints in the Quartos and the First Folio are recorded when they appear to be interesting. A word or two from the printed text is attached to the variants recorded below in cases where the variant, by itself, would not be sufficiently clear. Altered punctuation is shown, usually, by printing the old punctuation between the preceding and following words.

To | The worthily-deserving | all his ingenuous Attributes | William Hudson Esq.

Worthy Sir,

I Should derogate from your worth, to doubt of your pardon, and I should wrong too much your goodnesse to present the endeavours of some frothy braine to the triall of your judgement, when the More ignorant world had already condemned it; but sir, this is one of the coheirs of much admired, much lamented Fletcher, whose matchlesse Fancies are fit onely for the perusall of such as you, who have candour and knowledge so united, that there cannot be a reprive for those Poems you condemne; accept this weake Testimonie of my Service, and as yours by familiar acquaintance with them, favourably entertaine these witty conceits particularly presented unto you, by him who shall glory in nothing more than to be stiled

The Honorer of Your Vertues, _A. C._
